A2: Newspaper Archives

By

The Library Journal published an article about a deal between the Ann Arbor District Library and the owners of the Ann Arbor News, which has named the library as caretaker of its archives. The article quotes library director Josie Parker: “The material will take at least a year to catalog and organize, and then we will decide on the scope and sequence for digitization. We know that we will not do everything in house, but have not made commitments to any entity that might wish to be involved. We will fund portions of the project with our general budget, and the rest with donations and grants.” [Source]
